Skimming the new
Knights of the Dinner Table reminds me again of a problem I have with many old skool gamers. GM vs. Player attitude. The style of playing where the GM and players are always in an antagonistic state with each other. Why are Brian, Bob and Dave such "terrible" players? Because B.A. has fuckin' taught them to be that way. Maybe its from having them break one too many of his campaigns, but anytime they deviate from the hack-the-monster, scheme for every coin and E.P. method of gaming he screws them. And even when they don't he stacks the deck to screw them in advance. You know what a Total Party Kill should be? A total fuck-up on the GM's part. It means your campaign is derailed if not dead in the water. It means all the investment your players have in their characters is gone. Its a sign that you, as the GM, screwed up!

Right. Less annoying comics. Like
Savage Dragon. Where Angela and Malcolm do some teen-ager stuff and Emperor Kurr wrecks some more shit. Plus Golden Age Daredevil!
Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers Unleashed finishes up with the Pet Avengers and their pink unicorn ally taking on a wee little girl. Never turn your back on a wee little girl!
And finally a somewhat weak
Fables. With more of Rose Red and Snow White's childhood. Plus more on the whole Snow getting raped nightly by dwarves stuff from the 1001 Nights book. Its..I don't know. I'm just weary of Willingham right now. His comics writing isn't doing a lot for me and his real life commentary is just aggravating...
Hmmm. Don't want to end on a down note. So some new webcomics I've got into in the last week or so.
70 Seas has pirates and religious fights and ninjas and floating islands!
Imaginary Monsters is like someone's cracked-out D&D game. And
Para-Ten is just so fucking pretty...
